Michael in his abstract for TNC gives the following explanation:

" A scalable, distributed, near real-time E2E managed wavelength service 
monitoring system has
been developed. This system has acquired the working name of “E2Emon” 
and takes the form of
a set of distributed software modules that use a common interface to 
communicate with each
other and make use of a dedicated management object information model. 
This system has
been integrated with the perfSONAR monitoring framework ..."

Following that, E2Emon somewhat like an "umbrella term", so we can speak 
of an "E2Emon MP" and an "E2Emon Client".

We fully agree. However - from our point of view - due to the 
integration in perfSONAR, other services - like SQL Type MA - can "act 
as an E2Emon MA" if they support the specific NMWG requests for E2Emon 
and are involved into provisioning of measurement data for E2Emon, 
although the services of course have a broader scope in general. Nothing 
else. What do you think?
